December 7th: Lest We Forget...


Tom Waits

...Is the birthday of Tom Waits. (and Pearl Harbor Day, I know that.)

I haven't said much about him on this blog thus far, but let it be known that I go through periods where I listen to him constantly and periods where I rarely play his albums, but he is ALWAYS at the top of my list for sheer creativity and musical genre-bending. You just don't get much better. Best concert I've ever seen. Some of my all-time favorite albums and songs were written by this man. I am who I am partly because of this man's influence on me in my late teens (and beyond). So here's hoping he had another good birthday, and many more to come.

In regards to Pearl Harbor: of course, thanks to all of our troops, past and present, who fought for our country.
